Blind scuppers

[GreyNurse]

After my maiden voyage last Sunday, I arrived home and was hosing the Sierra Angler down when I noticed something that had escaped my attention earlier. With the yak upside down, there appears to be eight self draining scuppers. However, the forwardmost two, just behind the bow hatch are sealed dummies, ending about .5cm beneath the footwell.

Has anyone got something similar on their yaks? Has anyone any clever or innovative ideas what I might be able to do with them? Or should I just ignore them and keep yakking away in bliss?

Unfortunately, as I write this, it's too late and dark for a piccy.

Cheers,

Nursie
